Need recomendation on brake pads

I have to change my stock brakes (Pads) and I need recommendations based on other member's experiences.

Metal or Ceramic

Which Brand?

Best place to buy?

My last brake pad change was done at the dealer so i presume they used oem replacement pads.

I had no luck through searching the stickys so please help don't send me back there.

I used both brembo drilled rotor and pad on the front only. It works perfectly. I got 120ft stopping distance from 60-0mph. Dust a little bit, but not much.

If you have OEM Rotors, might as well have OEM pads. I have OEM Pads on my PowerSlots and am very happy with them. Check back a few pages, there was a thread about where to get OEM parts online.

I had Porterfield R4S Carbon Fiber Kevlar (fronts only). Amazing stopping power on OEM Rotors, no noise or squeeking but some dust. http://www.porterfield-brakes.com/
